For the Manchego Cheese Fritters

• ▢ 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• ▢ 1 large egg
• ▢ 1 clove of garlic finely minced

Instructions

• ▢
  For the honey mustard ranch, whisk together all of the ingredients listed for the ranch until creamy. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to use.
• ▢
  For the Manchego cheese fritters, in a large bowl mix together the milk, flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, egg, garlic, Manchego, goat's cheese, prosciutto, and salt and black pepper. Set aside.

  In the bowl of your stand mixer, with whisk attachment fixed, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the egg whites into the cheese mixture, and then fold the second half in very carefully. Do not over mix.
